Sack the board of the LazyWeb

I’m fed up with the LazyWeb. It never does what I need doing… well, hardly ever.

You see there only really are 3 types of information… blogs (time-based), wikis (structured) and er… the other one…

All I want… is a blog that is a wiki… that’s all.

But how would that work? I can almost hear you asking… Simple. It’d be a blog, like Workpress (only better), except if you enter a WikiWord (or put square brackets around it) it then you are prompted to create another blog item. Whether or not that appears in the blog home page is up to you.

All I want… is a wiki that has a WYSIWYG editor (like fckeditor or tinymce) that handles WikiWords…. Wikis are great. Syntaxes suck.

All I want is to enter WikiWords and have them presented as Wiki Words, and for any content entered to recognize “Wiki Words” whether or not they are concatenated…

All I want is to be able to attach files to any page (yes and search them, but that can be version 2)

All I want is for the wiki/blog pages to automatically list 5 or 10 backlinks. Why most wikis don’t do this by default I’ve no idea… it’s like automatic navigation.

All I want is the choice of a free service, a paid for service or downloadable software.

I’ve been waiting for a long time now and the LazyWeb has failed to deliver again and again. I propose the LessThanLazyWeb.

    This is basically what http://the.taoofmac.com/ does. He’s got a somewhat customized phpwiki site that has templates that make it like a blog. Pretty sweet…
